Jammu, Aug 29: The Directorate of Sports and Physical Education, University of Jammu celebrated National Sports Day 2021 at the University Campus.
Prof. Manoj K. Dhar, Vice Chancellor, University of Jammu, the Chief Guest in his address, enlightened the gathering with a message.
Speaking on the occasion, the VC congratulated the entire staff of the Directorate and also said that the university will organize various Sports Events of National level in the future for the promotion of Sports in J&K. He appreciated the efforts of the Directorate to conduct various such events despite this prevailing Covid-19 situation.
Prof. Arvind Jasrotia, Registrar University of Jammu, Prof. Prakash C. Anthal, Dean Student’s Welfare and Sh. Arun Malhotra, Former International Footballer of J&K were the Guests of Honour on the occasion.
Arun Malhotra also addressed the gathering with his remarkable words of inspiration. In his address he said, “It is believed that one of the reasons for not producing the international level players in our UT is lacking from modern level Sports Academies. Now the time has changed, the States / UTs across the country are hiring the services of reputed International players to enhance the skills of the players. This practice has produced great results.
In the present era, the Indian league is being played where all players from the rest of the country participate. However, it is observed that a scant representation is seen from Jammu and Kashmir. The main reason why players hinder to exhibit talent is lacking from modern skill and techniques which is improved only in Academies by the professionals.
If J&K really has to be in the game then some certain steps are required to be taken and first and foremost among all is establishment of Sports Academies. This only will ensure participation of JK players in I- league and even playing at International level.”
Earlier, Dr. Daud Iqbal Baba, Director Directorate of Sports and Physical Education, JU presented a formal welcome address and shared that National Sports Day does not represent only a day to embrace Sports, to know its importance. No one can be made aware of the significance of its value in one day. National Sports Day marks the journeys of all those tenacious over-the-top athletes and players that did not leave any effort in making India proud. Making the public aware of its sports history in order to attain a fitter nation is the primary objective to celebrate this day.
